2015 Toyota Tundra: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2015 Toyota Tundra is the move to an all-V8 lineup, with the previous V6 dropped. Toyota also added the factory off-road TRD Pro, while most of the 2014 redesign carried over.
About the 2015 Toyota Tundra
2nd generation (2007-2021), second model year after the 2014 redesign.
Toyota positioned the 2015 Tundra as an American-built full-size pickup with strong V8 power, real towing ability, roomy cabs, and a broad trim ladder that runs from basic work truck to premium luxury and factory off-road use. The core message centered on Texas assembly, Toyota durability, simple controls, and a truck that could fit work, family, comfort, or trail duty without losing its full-size pickup basics.
The 2015 Tundra spans the work-focused SR, the more polished SR5 and Limited, and the luxury-oriented Platinum and western-themed 1794 Edition. Limited adds leather, heated front seats, navigation, and dual-zone climate control, while Platinum and 1794 Edition bring ventilated front seats, JBL audio, and a moonroof. The new TRD Pro stands apart with standard four-wheel drive, lifted off-road suspension, a skid plate, and blacked-out styling.

4.4
2015 Toyota Tundra
(174 reviews)
“I need more towing capacity. Toyota needs to make a diesel engine truck. I'd buy one tomorrow if they did. Nobody makes a truck like Toyota it's the best there is. A diesel Tundra would take over the truck market because they are such good truck manufactures.”
“I personally would like to see less rake and more level body. With that a greater ground clearance and lifted look would be nice as an option. Larger tires and rims to top it off.”
